Comments: A nice break-in shave this morning. The small weepers were no doubt due to a new blade. Feeling okay after my surgery. The procedure lasted about 1.5 hours My right leg is still stiff and sore, but I am able to get around the house with crutches, or a cane.

Cleanup: Rinsed & dried face Witch Hazel (Dickinsons) f/b buffing A/S Aqua Velva Blue f/b buffing Omega Alum stick Dr. Teals

Brush: RazoRock Hive 24
Aftershave: Lustray Blue Spice

Another fantastic shave by the SoloEdge. However, I was getting a bit exuberant and caused myself a bit of skin tightness and a few weepers. Still a very comfortable shave with a great shave outcome.

Sixth use on the Feather Light blade and it's just amazing. I'm glad I found a use for these blades as they do not fit into any of my AC Razors. Remainder of the ingredients resulted in a very Aromatic shave.

Friday morning shave rated (9.75/10) using:

• Razor: Birth year 1961 G2 Gillette Superspeed expertly replated by Back Roads Gold
• Blade: Early 1960’s Comet Super Stainless made by Okava Enterprises in its short-lived Irish factory (2)
• Brush: Razorock 400 Silver Noir Plissoft (my favorite)
• Pre-shave: Noxzema
• Soap: Dutch Kox Bergamot
• Post shave: Thayer’s unscented Witch Hazel followed by Old Spice splash and Stirling Spice balm

Today’s shave was essentially equivalent to Wednesday's 9.75 and for the same reasons; with just a slight deduction on efficiency for having to work a bit on the touch ups. Close, comfortable, and irritation free. I always enjoy a Superspeed and this birth year version is a favorite and has been beautifully replated by Back Roads Gold. The soap is hanging on and continues to provide excellent performance (thank you so much @Guido75).

Happy shaves everyone

Razor : Yaqi Romulus SE 316 SSP with a Yaqi Chippendale 316SSP handle. Mfg 2023>, mild to mid range depending on blades used or gap spacer used.

The combination of handle and head produces nice close comfortable shaves mostly. Has a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain titian mild, sharp and smooth with great longevity.
Soap : Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore, nice Vanilla and light tobacco scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Deep Stones" 24mm synthetic boss knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle scrubber + excellent lather generator.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.

Notes

The bitter, herbal Special Reserve seems appropriate for Good Friday. A very happy shave, however, despite the penitential occasion. The Dura-Sharp keeps chugging along with smooth shaves, no real sign of drop off so far. And the first use of the RazoRock “What the Puck” hard soap left me quite impressed. Generous lather, remarkably slick, and fine post-shave feel. I’ll give it a run and see how it performs over a few days. But considering I bought six 3.5 oz pucks of this triple-milled soap for $25, right now it’s looking like an unbelievable deal.
